Ingredients

1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 cup water

In a large measuring cup, stir together the chicken broth, evaporated milk, heavy cream, garlic and onion until well combined.
Set a wire trivet in a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot and pour in the water.
Grease a 7-inch round casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Layer the potatoes, both cheeses, and the milk mixture into the prepared baking dish, until all are used up. Cover loosely with foil and place in the Instant Pot. Lock the lid in place, making sure the valve is set to seal. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes and then do a quick release.
Carefully open the lid and remove the dish from the Instant Pot. Uncover and place under the broiler until the top is golden brown. This step is optional. Garnish with chives before serving.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup diced onion
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup evaporated milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

Slice potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices using a mandolin. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add potatoes, chicken broth, onion, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Add evaporated milk, Cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese to the pot. Gently stir until cheese is melted. Transfer potatoes to an oven-safe baking dish.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low. Broil for 4 minutes or until top is brown and bubbly. Remove potatoes from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes to thicken.

Tips:

Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère will give you the best flavor.
Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them.
If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe in a slow cooker or a regular oven.
Serve the potatoes immediately, while they're still hot and bubbly.
